Discontinued Wheels…. meant to stay in the past?

Ever wonder why we discontinue wheel designs? We’ve gotten the question a lot, so let’s dive into some of the reasons why we discontinue wheel designs in general, the challenges of making a new wheel, and why a “re-introduced” design never really works.

Thanks for joining Daut x Nick on the podcast today! COMMENT below with a discontinued wheel we should bring back and MAYBE… just MAYBE, we will! (But, probably not).

ZF 8HP is the BEST auto transmission ever made… w/ Turbo Lamik

the 8HP is ZF Friedrichshafen’s 8-speed automatic transmission, and it’s been making waves lately in the car community thanks to TurboLamik’s Transmission Control Unit (TCU) – an advanced transmission controller that allows you to control the ZF transmission in 8 modes, varying from basic automatic to race-style sequential.

We’ve got Greg Drozd from TurboLamik US on the show today to talk about the 8HP ZF Transmission, and how exactly the TurboLamik TCU works, and how it has the potential to fully unlock to potential of this gearbox.

TCU 2.0 was the first 8HP controller on the market and it has been in continual development for over 10 years and been successfully used in many cars from everyday cars to high HP drag cars. Also vary popular for track use and drift.

8 driving modes – From an OEM automatic feel to full race with a flip of a switch!!! Manual, auto, semi auto shifting mode using a shifter, sequential style shifter or paddles Transbrake option Automatic Adaptation Self diagnosis with error codes showing on external display.

This TCU also supports a digital clutch so you can drive it exactly like if you were driving a manual trans car. Clutch is digital but world and feels like a regular clutch.
